Assholes Without Borders: Driver Who Killed Teen Sues for Damage
Driver Who Killed Teen Sues for Damage

MADRID, Spain - A speeding motorist who killed a teenage cyclist is suing the boy's parents over damage to his luxury car, the government says.

Enaitz Iriondo, 17, died instantly in August 2004 when businessman Tomas Delgado's Audi A8 crashed into him at 100 mph near Haro in northern Spain, an Interior Ministry traffic report said. The speed limit was 55 mph.

Iriondo was not wearing reflective clothing or a helmet, the ministry report said. As the sun had set when he crossed the path of Delgado's car from a side road, a regional court found both parties at fault and closed the case, the report said.

Delgado, whose insurance company paid Iriondo's parents $48,500 in compensation for their son's life, filed a suit in late 2006 to recover $29,400 in damages to his car and car rental costs, the ministry traffic report said.

"It's the only way I have to claim my money back," Delgado was quoted as saying by the newspaper El Pais, which first reported the story on Friday. El Pais said a ruling was expected next week.

1. I hope the court rules against him AND tells him to fuck himself.
And then charges him twenty nine grand in court costs...

2. Delgado ought to move here and run for office as a Republican.
Perfect candidate for them. A man with true GOP priorities in life.

Like Mitt Romney. Money talks, BS walks, and isn't it great to have five sons none of whom serve in the war he so passionately supports.

Like Delgado and his Audi, Mitt knows what's important.
